This document is a Project 10073 record concerning a UFO sighting reported on October 4, 1968, near Dayton, Ohio. The witness, a civilian, reported observing a single object for approximately 20 minutes. The observation was described as a ground-visual sighting occurring at night under clear weather conditions. The object was noted to have moved slowly from north to south and was described as having light yellow, white, and blue colors. The witness observed the object from her kitchen window and noted that it eventually disappeared behind trees. She also indicated that the object moved behind trees and a telephone pole during the sighting. Despite the initial report to the FTD Duty Officer, the investigation remained incomplete. Lt. Colonel Hector Quintanilla, Jr., Chief of the Aerial Phenomena Office, issued a letter to the witness on October 4, 1968, requesting that she complete and return an attached AF Form 117 to facilitate a scientific investigation. The final conclusion recorded in the project file is 'INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR EVALUATION,' noting that the observer had not returned the required form as of November 18, 1968.
